I was 9, and my bedtime was 10PM (ET), so my parents sent me to bed an hour before the first step outside the LEM. That prompted loud protests on my part, which they ignored. A few minutes after going to bed, I sneaked back out to the living room, where the TV was, and watched from the doorway behind my parents, where they very pointedly ignored my presence, including my shout when Armstrong stepped onto the moon.
